Is this guy for real

Now it wont cost you anything for him to send you the check and SEE if it clears.. but it wont.

Anyone who is getting offers from sellers like this, PLEASE CONTACT ME. I am doing everything in my power to track these guys down. The checks come from NIGERIA "No one has jurisdiction" However. There are also operatived in the norway area. INTERPOL does have jurisdiction. If enough of us would contact them at the same time. They would probably show a lot more interest in catching them. Simple "Sting" operations would be effective.
Please contact me and lets exchange information.
and, Remember: If it sounds to good to be true 99% it is, and if your gut says something is up.. go1pse@msn.com

Lets get these guys. Its gotta stop.

As everybody else has mentioned, I would run about as fast as I could (in the opposite direction, of course) from a check for over the amount. If he wants to play that "game" (and it turns out to be a legitimate check, which it won"t) then... hey, nice bonus!!

Just my humble opinion...

The fact that the guy waits 10 days before reply correspondence puts me on alert. Could be someone who commercially buys tractors and doesn't care if he gets it or not. If that's the case, maybe it explains the delay.

As stated, send no money back, and take the check to your bank and have your bank inform you when it has cleared the issuing agency. Then let the tractor go.

I too have bought tractors on the web and have been satisfied..... but when I see one I jump on it, I don't wait 10 days to start asking questions.

Good luck,

Mark

If you go ahead with it, do not call, release, or send anything _until_ your bank 100% garentees the funds are _yours_. Get that in writing.

If an international check esp, the crocks have figured out ways to copy or make duplicates of real checks, so your bank will be told sure it"s a good check - until 2 checks come back to the original bank some time later, and then whoops, you have to refund the money out of your pocket. This check clearing can take a _loooong_ time.

I"d throw it in the trash & forget about it.

Like Bob said below, NEVER agree to send any money back, and make sure all your money is in your hands before you let your tractor go.

If someone wants your tractor bad enough, they can spend 10 bucks to overnight the check to you. Don"t waste your time with someone who drags out the process and plays the "check is in the mail" game.

If you still don't believe it, if the check arrives, take it to your banker, and have them verify the check. DO NOT under any circumstances, send back the any excess funds, or release the tractor until the banker will "guarantee" that the check was good.
